KritzKast the TF2 podcast · 143 Let us never speak of this again

This is the week that the unthinkable happened. Steam was compromised. The question rises, our are personal details still safe? We’ve looked into the details of the hack, How, when and why, to bring you as much information about it as we can. We’ll try our best to make you feel safe, but alas, only valve can be the ones to rest our minds fully. For more information please visit this thread.

Luckily, the hack isn’t the only piece of news this week, or we would be crying all through the show. TF2 also got 3 new promo items directly from Saints row the third. Not to mention a few changes to make thing run smoother.

Speaking of running smoother, the Beta also got a good fix this week. bringing it up to date with recently changes to the main game and also testing out new code that should make the game run smoother on older machines.

But its not just valve that have been making heads lines this week. ETF2L started its highlander league and agro got to have a quick shoutcast. We also followed eXtine into a comic book store as he picked up the copy of “The Scarface” and had it signed by valve employees

Plus this week was the week that teamfortress.tv launched, a new site showcasing some of the best live streams of Pro TF2 players…….and 1 fascinating TF2 podkast.

Lastly, we couldn’t let the launch of Skyrim pass without mentioning this graphics comparison sent to us from a fan.

BOO! Not the scariest of introductions, but it’s hard to be evil when you play Valve games. The Third Annual Scream Fortress kicked in this week, with a new map designed for the holiday period. Don’t worry if you haven’t had chance to play yet as it doesn’t end until 6th November. This gives you plenty of time to ogle the all-seeing eye that is Monoculus on Eyeaduct. Even after this Halloween event has died out the effects will live on with a mass of new Halloween items, new unusual effects and new voice lines all rising from the grave every time the moon is full again. AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Plus, to keep the horror flowing, Valve have given us another comic depicting the origins of Monoculus. Creep under your covers, get out the torch and read it with care. For surely it’s too late we cry, “too late!” To include these sheets in the forthcoming comic collections of Dark Horse.

This weeks video of the week (no this isn’t a new section, its just we really like this video and think it should be viewed by all) shows off what could be done with all the footage valve has made for “meet the videos”. Could this video spark valve into kick starting its TF2 TV series project?

We also ask ourselves, “why do 30% of TF2 players buy something in the store, when most F2P games only get about 2-3%?” Gabe revealed this amazing stat in a recent interview. Maybe we think we know, maybe.

Lastly Pat’s bloody sack conceals a mash-up voice clip, HHH’s head and icon replacements. All provided by you, the haunting audience.
